I wish it was not so / Candice Detwiler (First girl friend as a child ) I wish that I could find a way to bring back your sweet son and heal your hearts. I first met Keith when I was five years old on the school bus and he was my (boyfriend). I will never forget the day that he kissed me under his coatlol we had no clue but now looking back I am so happy to have shared that time and those times with Keith.We dated for a little in middle school and it was not long till I moved away. It upsets me to say I never got the chance to see him again.But your son was a wonderful person in so many ways and I hope you know that your family not only brought a wonderful person into the world but one that will live in many hearts forever.Forever Mei he rest in peace.

Sorry/ Tonya Pinder (Freind From High School ) Wow, I didnt know that Keith had left us, I just found out. I am sorry and I know that it is hard but he will forever be with all of us.

A Loving Angel / Brandi Faucett (My Best Friend )onzxA loving angel came to me in dreams, And showed me life's not always what it seems, And brought me to a place where sweet dreams live, And gave to me a gift that I now give:

She whispered, "Take my hand, I'll lead you through A place where all the sweet dreams can come true! Close your eyes and open up your heart, For then this flight of dreams so sweet can start.

She brought me through the darkness to the light, Where colours wrapped around me with delight, A patchwork quilt of beauty without seams, Each colour was a rainbow full of dreams.

She led me through a hall of lovely sound, With doors flung open widely all around. And from each room a song would gently play, And I wished with all my heart that I could stay.

We drifted in the fragrance of the breeze, To savour all the flowers and the trees. We tasted all of life that we could see, And felt it flow as one in harmony.

Then my angel turned to me and said "You're the keeper of these dreams inside your head. Dream sweetly now, and dream of love and light, And dreams will lead you safely through the night.

I am the keeper of this dream, it's true, And I offer all my dreams to each of you. May their loving sweetness visit you each night And fill your soul with love and warmth and light!

Heaven's Firefighter Shore / Krystle Prather (Friend) All day long on earth, he fought the fire with all his soul, Now he’s in Heaven , where the streets are paved with gold. No more sirens awake him at night, no more sweat upon his face, He’s walking down those streets now, yes, he’s in a higher place.

No need to check his air tank, or shine his black stripe boots, No need to check his helmet or to patch his heavy suit. He doesn’t need to hurry , he doesn’t have to rush, There’s no fires in Heaven, just a small burning bush.

He remembers his last fire, it seemed like yesterday, He reaches up and touches his cheek, he wipes a tear away. He remembers times he felt the heat, so hot, it seemed like Hell. But he knows the job is getting done, his buddies will do it well.

As he looks down and sees his buddies, each fighting the flame, He remembers each one well and calls them all by name. His face is wet with tears, his heart is full of pride, “Remember me” he says, “I am there by your side‘’.

The fires put out, the trucks have gone, his buddies now at rest, He knows that he must leave them, he knows they passed the test.

Tonight he will sleep softly, listening for the call he’ll hear no more, For he is now among the best, resting on Heaven’s Firefighter Shore.

Maybe not Forever / Brandi Faucett (Best Friend )
There are so many stories I still want to tellThere are so many I love you's left unsaidThere are many tears left uncriedThere are many dreams left to fall apart

I miss our long talksI miss the nights when all was alrightI love you like a friend should, you were my angelYet I wonder why you left me here to die

We were forever best firendsWhen one fell to the groundThe other one was there to help them upWe healed our broken heartsWith a hug and a gentle smileWe stayed up several nights looking at the stars.

Now you are gone and I don't know what to doI close my eyes and think of you and howYou were always there.Its hard to look at your pictures, and get memories of youCan you hear me nowAt night I pray, and speak to youI guess you were right when you told me no matter how far you were you would always be there.I know one day I'll see you again, but till then I have to say goodbye.

I love you and always will Keith! There are so many things that I need to talk about but you are not here to says all those words you used to say. But I won't give up and I won't break down sooner than it seems life turns around and I will be strong even if it takes so long standing in the dark I'll still believe that someone is watching over me.

CHERISHED FRIENDSHIP / Brandi Faucett (Best Friend )God must have known there would be times we'd need a word of cheer, Someone to praise a triumph or brush away a tear.He must have known we'd need to sharethe joy of "little things",In order to appreciate te happinss life brings.I think he knew our troubled hearts would sometimes hob with pain,At trials and misfortunes, or goals we can't atain.He knew we'd need the comfort of an understanding heart,To give us strength and courage to make a fresh, new start.He knew we'd need companionship, unselfish...lasting..true,And so God answered my hearts great need with a CHERISHED FRIEND LIKE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below, with tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear, for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, butthe sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring, for it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart, but I am not so far away. We really are't apart. So be happy for me dear ones. You know I hold you dear,and be glad I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year. I send you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above. I send you each a memory of, of my undying love. After all "LOVE" is the gift, more precious than pure gold. It was always most imprt in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do, for I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you. So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear. Remember, I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.

You left us so suddenly one day, Leaving us with no words to say. You held our world in the palm of your hand, Now we're all alone and to scared to stand. We surrendered to you heart and soul, We loved you more than anyone would ever know. Your heart touched so many its true, Now we live on with the memories of you Close
